I forgot about the little phone booth! I remember how grandpa would water the lawn from the second story porch as grandma and I would enact scenes from Little Bear Goes to the Moon. The smells of damp green things and the musty basement and grandpa's aftershave in the bottle with the blue ship. And the lady's man red hat he wore when he visited Eugene that always impressed my boyfriends!

What is it about doctors and having the affect of refrigerators? What year do dentists receive the course in fascist bedside manner? I just got my teeth cleaned and checked today, which consisted of the nicest lady hygienist molesting my mouth for 45 minutes, which I promised her, as I tongued my swelling gums, was a "meditative experience," only to be psychically battered by the old prune, Dr. Ross! He told me I had two cavities, due not to the fact that I hadn't had my teeth cleaned for two plus years, but because I had never properly learned to floss. I floss daily! He proceeded to show me the proper flossing technique by sawing my tender gums and pounding my chest with both fists for emphasis, while holding the floss between his fingers accusingly. No introductions, no "thank you for padding my nest egg, you poor, stupid, uninsured girl". If I were still in Northampton, I would have spit in his withered eye and demanded my $175 dollars back. But all I can do is talk bad about him online and come home to get my chops fixed.
